Regrettable Purchases

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

Trends come and go. We spend money to buy what is in style, and then spend more to buy whatever comes out the next season. Sometimes we splurge, or sometimes we head to Forever 21 for a cheap fix of the latest trend.

It’s basically the circle of life. 

Yet there are some purchases that, looking back at it now, we flat out regret. We saw, we saved, and we regretted. These are the purchases we HAD to have, and HAD to beg our parents to get us. And an older, wiser woman now realizes they were over priced, a waste of money, and most importantly a major regret. 

P.S. I put the price next to it so you can feel even more buyers remorse.
